Rage

Car  RenaultSport 172.
Yeh Ludacris! lol

Just bought the new wheels for the project Ph-uck JDMyo! lol
With the centre bores being the wrong size, its trial and error, grinding abit out with the dremel, and re-trying them on, got the 2 rears on now, and working on the front 2 later today :)

anywy, here are some teaser pics :)

Next on the modifing list after i got the other 2 wheels on...

Coilovers.
:)
 
Aha, yeah :(

The rsi wheels only went for £130....Dont know what they usually go for, but the previous owner had 4 new tyres on before i collected it 3 weeks ago :)
 
Not keen myself, like Ali I don't really know why, just not my Cuppa
 
Ooooo, I really like those. I don't think I'd like cleaning them though, mine are bad enough. I think she'll look lovely once she's been lowered.
 
How much did you pay rage? I nearly bought a similar set for mine a few months ago, love them! Whats the offset?
 
when i saw pics of the wheels i neary moistened my patch... but they look odd on the car :S

a hooge drop will help 100x
 
Grinding the centre bore out with a dremel? :eek: Now it might just be me and I might be completely wrong but is that not one of the most stupid f**king ideas i've ever heard?

How the hell are you removing exactly the same ammount of metal from each side so that the wheel mounts centrally?(sp?)? The center bore could be off centre now?
 
the bolts centre the wheel.

they are only 3mm smaller than the clio fitment anyway so not like you have to take much metal awah

Doesn't matter if the bore isn't central.

Yeh I appreciate that but the weight of the car is taken on the centre bore not the wheel bolts as standard, i'd be using studs with that tbh. (well I wouldn't because i'd have done a proper job and had them machined, remember they're the only thing connecting the rubber to the car)
 
i had mine sent off to be machined but stopped the guy as they dont clear the brakes.

not so long ago cars never had centering holes...
 
look a bit weird atm but gonna be interesting when everything else is done. what's the other plans for the car?
 
not saying what the other plans are yet....keeping them hush :)

next on the agender is coilovers, and yes the car will benifit from a triple figure drop that the valver got treated too also :))
 
will i be beating jordans drop?

Phoneix.....? Damb Right!!!!!!!!! if anyone saw the valver they'd know what i mean :P

nope, the wheels were off a vw. never fitted on a renault before :) ( this exact set like)
